Sesame-Cheddar Mini Muffins

FloridaNative's Note:

These sounded very good to accompany soups and stews. Experiment with different cheese in the muffins for a different flavor or include 1/8 - 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite dried herbs in the mixture. From the "Southern Living Little Book of Mini Muffins and More".

Just outstanding! A perfect snack on their own and simply delicious with soup. I agree the flavor is much enhanced the second day. These will become a regular visitor to my table.
